Boston Symphony Orchestra: León, Ravel, Stravinsky

• Seong-Jin Cho, piano
• Andris Nelsons, conductor

New York audiences get a welcome opportunity to revisit the 2021 Pulitzer Prize–winning Stride by Tania León, Carnegie Hall's 2023–2024 Debs Composer's Chair. Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand follows, featuring star soloist and International Chopin Piano Competition winner Seong-Jin Cho. Masterfully written for both piano and orchestra, it's an inspiring example of a perceived obstacle—one-handed piano playing—yielding powerful and inventive new musical ideas. Stravinsky's radical, rhythmically charged The Rite of Spring closes the program in explosive fashion.
